Engineering

Low oxygen content and a widely-tunable phosphorus content may allow for use of this
material as stable phosphorus-based electrodes or as a catalyst of the oxygen reduction
reaction (ORR) in fuel cells.

At Montana State University, an electrical engineering professor and a weed scientist
have used funding from the state to develop a technology that can identify herbicide-resistant
kochia, with the potential to save farmers $1 billion per year. This technology is
now available for licensing.
